It's not every weekend that a MOBO nominated artist hits town, but this weekend it's happening.

J-Vessel will be performing at the Sanctuary at Leigh Road Baptist Church in Marguerite Drive, Leigh on Sunday (March 18).

The night promises to be an epic time not to be missed on the South-East Essex youth and music calendar.

Jordan ‘J Vessel’ Amadi-Myers made history in 2014 by becoming the youngest ever independent solo artist to be nominated for a MOBO Award as well as an Urban Music Award both in the same year, at just 17.

Now 20, he’s had another Urban Music Award nomination, a Premier Gospel Award win and a debut album (Reflections) which peaked at #2 on the iTunes Christian chart. He has already been labelled ‘the future of UK urban music’ from music fans as well as some of his musical heroes such as Guvna B.

“I’ve always believed that music could be used for more than self-glorification and uninspired hooks” MOBO Award nominee J Vessel ponders, “If music has the power to change someones mood, it has the power to change their life.”

With an energetic live show and much crowd participation, 2016 saw J Vessel headline schools tours in Slovakia at some of the biggest festivals in the UK, including Big Church Day Out and NewDay. Coming from a christian household J Vessel endeavours to bring the hope he has found in God to the masses. His urban sound has proved to be a big hit with the youth, bursting onto the scene with his aptly titled debut single “I’m A Vessel” in 2012 to his 2014 summer hit “Amazing Love” which earned him his first #1 single on the AStepFwd Charts.

J-Vessel will be performing his knock-out tunes such as J Vessel ft. Guvna B – All Night Long
